Whether your anxiety manifests as panic attacks, overachieving, people-pleasing, or just avoiding life altogether, it is not fun. Understatement, I know. Anxiety can lead to burnout, depression, isolation, and physical illness. It can also lead to addictive behaviors like overeating, emotional eating, vaping, and procrastination. Healing the anxiety is at the core of healing these unwanted behaviors, and I use various techniques to help you heal as we figure out the root cause of your anxiety.

Your attachment style informs the way you relate to other people, to yourself, to your work, and even how you exist in relationship to things like time, money, and food. So many struggles people face lead back to their attachment style, which is formed in infancy. You may feel codependent, clingy, and needy with partners, friends, or inanimate objects like food. Or, you may struggle to connect with others, find it easiest to withdraw into yourself, and avoid emotions. We can heal this.

Having low self-esteem can cause you to stay in situations that are not good for you, put up with bad treatment or abuse, not go after the things that you deserve, and lack the confidence that would allow you to live the life of your dreams. While you may sometimes feel blind to your strengths, superpowers, badass qualities, and adorable quirks, I will see them quickly and easily. We will work together until you see them, too, and believe in yourself enough to go after what you deserve.

When your rational mind understands something clearly, but another part of you just won't get on board, the frustration is real. Maybe you know you need to leave a relationship but just can't. Or, you know you need to break a bad habit but feels almost like an addiction. Or, there is something from the past that you want to let go of, but no matter what you do you can't get over it. Somatic therapy is what we use to get your brain and body on the same page, so that war inside your mind stops.

The correct trauma therapy depends on the client and on the trauma. EMDR techniques work well on acute trauma, like a single past event. However, complex trauma, like the kind that comes from having a childhood that felt like "death by a thousand little cuts", or from an emotionally abusive relationship, often responds better to other modalities. We will discuss any trauma that you would like to share, and decide together which modalities you would like to use in treatment.

Being an Integrative Therapist means that I get to pull out all kinds of tools from the therapy toolbox. I often use techniques from EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Therapy, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solutions-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and others. What works best for you will depend on your specific history, personality, preferences, curiosity, goals, and boundaries. But Integrative Therapy means we get to explore the whole toolbox!
